This is a tale from a faraway world.
There lived a girl who had been cursed by a witch to bring death to those whose face she saw.
From the day she was cursed, she lived a life of gloom all by herself.
She had not met her parents or friends in years.
Thus, there was but one person
to keep her company.
Her own reflection in the water.
The surface of the water
makes a
looking-glass,
showing the blue
eyes of
a mask's
my
face
A s

Lighthouse
faintly wavering,
and a quiet voice
Since no one knows anything of me,
I don't know anything of anyone
The clock's hands
strike
and flip upside down

and is there no reply?
I hear nothing

and I see no one coming to join me
It's
entirely
like being
in a dream,
like the girl who
chased after
a rabbit
and fell down
a hole
just like her
E c i l a
Flipped
upside- down
On the water's surface
that mask
my face
somehow seems...
so sad
Blue
floating
a bell
balloon
In the dozing
oil-paint
colors,
a cracked
frog
turned to
stone,
and someone
laughed
or so it seemed
But it
isn't sad,
after all,
I feel
lighter
than
a
bal
loon!
That figure sewn
onto the water's surface
asks the question,
"Is it really true?"
CRY

all the way to the branches
stuck at the bottoms

And from somewhere
there's the bright sound of bells
It was
a very
busy
kind of laugh,
like the rabbit running around and
constantly looking at his watch,
just like him
Ecila
Who's the one crying?
On the water's surface
the mask
I
teasingly, softly...
whispered
"Why are you crying?"
"Because you're there."
"I shouldn't be here?"
"Yes, so disappear."
"No."
"..."
"You should come with me."
"No!"
"..."
"Please, leave us be."
You said thoughtless words
I laughed
The mask sneered
I sneered
Though I didn't know a thing,
though I would forget anyway,
into the dark surface of the water,
I set foot
The mask spoke with a voice of delight
I spoke with a voice of delight
"Hello!
Hello!
I've been waiting!"
it called waves and laughed
A warm hand grabbed me,
The mask and I were
to
rn
ap
art
In the warmth, I searched for the light,
b u t ...
I saw nothing...
"Hey... is this the base of the lighthouse?"
"Huh?"
"It's very dark... but somehow comforting."
"...Really?"
"Your eyes are..."
It was
a very
wonderful
thing
like the girl waking up
from the terrible trial,
just like her
Ecila,
Ecila
is
no more
Sunk to the bottom of the sea with the lighthouse,
left dreaming
Distorted colors,
shapes, everything
For all I had lost,
I took this hand,
in
all
its
warmth
It's completely inverted
The image on the surface of the water,
perhaps...
it's just me
Goodbye
HACHI
Hatsune Miku
Perhaps she was having a long, long dream.
Or perhaps she is yet in a dream.
She let one tear upon the water,
and walked along a puzzling road.
